Feel like it needs to be a university town, since that doesn't look big enough to be an NFL football stadium.
― Resting Bushface (Phil D.), Tuesday, 17 November 2015 16:15 (ten years ago)
def feels like a college town, or maybe a city where the big university campus essentially is downtown. very lush and green, muddy water. feels southern perhaps.
― ryan, Tuesday, 17 November 2015 16:27 (ten years ago)
baseball diamond too but also doesn't look big enough for the pros.

great thread idea.
#2 has a lotta waterfall and canal stuff right downtown, but i don't think that's how niagara looks?
#1 is interesting for how geometrically planned the downtown/campus part looks. note the very legible old vestigial diagonal boulevards running right out of the middle. makes me think it's washington DC just outside the 'obvious' parts.

The "carpet" quality makes me think Tokyo, the extremely gridding not so much. It's not Curitiba. Hrm. New Delhi outside of the center is actually pretty close in 'look' but I'm stumped. Man, that scale is wild. Feeling really dumb that I don't know what this is.
― Frump 'n' Dump (Doctor Casino), Friday, 20 November 2015 04:35 (ten years ago)
What's weird is how even it is - maybe because we're zoomed out so far but it's hard to read major/minor streets, or even a long/short kind of rhythm like Manhattan or Mexico City have in their grids. It's weird to see something that screams "20th century planning" but not "and also they were obsessed with traffic circulation" which would lead you to arterials or at least some primary collector roads or something.
― Frump 'n' Dump (Doctor Casino), Friday, 20 November 2015 04:38 (ten years ago)
It's New Delhi. I first saw the image in a coffee-table book about overpopulation.

it is on the mediterranean, not palermo. if your resolution is high enough you might be able to make out a wall around the old part of the city. you can't really tell but it's on quite a slope down to the sea.

On the other hand lack of a half-dozen big gray cargo jets just thinkin baout things argues against. Also, no golf ball antennae or fighters.
Also, looking more closely at the upper right, there's these big green ovals that look frighteningly like cricket fields, and I don't see any baseball diamonds. Shit.

For better or worse. The Cerda plan which gives it that very distinctive grid of chamfered-edge blocks also makes the entire 19th century expansion of the city just brutally monotonous when you're anywhere between the big diagonals. The chamfered corners also make it a real pain to get around on foot: every street you're crossing is basically twice as wide as it needs to be, so you burn a lot of potential walking time waiting for lights. A shame the chamfer couldn't have been saved for 'special' intersections, or the grid more frequently offset with some other rhythm or open spaces (e.g. Savannah).
IIRC, Sagrada Familia was meant to be within an even bigger park - or rather, a total of six green blocks, making a Latin Cross. Obviously that was way too much real estate, but it's alarming to consider that it might not actually feel all that different, except of course for being able to get a real frontal approach on the thing.
